"Dear artists and creatives,

We are seeking artistic contributions that explore themes of freedom, resistance, social transformation, and remembrance through visual expression. We especially welcome applications from videomappers, short film creators, motion designers, and graphic designers.

The light art and videomapping event “Freiheitsleuchten” will take place on October 17–18, 2025, in the historic old town of Mühlhausen (Thuringia, Germany). As part of the commemorative year “500 Years of the Peasants’ War” and the Thuringian state exhibition “freiheyt 1525”, six locations — including churches, squares, and streets — will be transformed into walkable light installations.

We are pleased to announce that Genius Loci Weimar will be producing and curating this event.

Highlight:
One of the locations, the Marienkirche, is part of a videomapping competition — with a 10,000 Euro prize for the winning concept.

For all other locations, artists are invited to submit a project concept along with a budget proposal.

Submission deadline: June 30, 2025

Your Genius Loci Team"
